Unlike Hayden, who was furious, William was all smiles, "Dad, did you come all the way here just to scold and hit me?" "Of course not! Tell me, are you the one who did those things to Paisley?" William shook his head, "No!" "Stop lying. I know it's you, you brat. I can't believe you actually did that just to make me give up on Paisley. Are you even aware of what you're doing?" Hayden just wouldn't believe William. "I said it wasn't me! I'll admit it if I really did do it. And why do I need to lie to you anyway?" William said as he spread his arms. "Really? Then who else could it be?" Hayden knew William well. If he had said so, then it must be someone else behind this. William frowned, "Please stop talking about Paisley. I don't really care about strangers. Did you come all the way here to stand up for her?" "Of course not. I came here for something important! We need to
Paisley spent a whole night thinking about her options before she called Raelyn. William was sitting not far away from her when she embarrassed herself the night earlier and he wouldn't have just let her be if he had even the slightest feelings for her. Her heart ached as though it was being stabbed at when she recalled how William looked on with cold eyes while she was molested by the stranger. She was no fool. After everything that had happened, Paisley wasn't expecting to be with William anymore. If she couldn't get him, Paisley wouldn't let anyone else have him too. But she and Hardy didn't have enough strength to ruin him, so she needed help, and the people that came into her mind immediately were Savannah and Raelyn. Since William was hiding his identity from everyone, he must be brewing something. And judging by the current situation, Savannah and Raelyn probably had no idea who exactly William was yet. So, the first thing that Paisley had planned to do w
At 6 in the evening, William came to pick up Valeria at the Brownard Group. Since she was on her period, Valeria looked pale and haggard, and this made William very worried, "I've ordered the chef at Wolf Group to make some soup for you. Let's have dinner and spend our night there. You really shouldn't go to work tomorrow. Just be good and take some rest, okay?" Seeing how much William cared for her, Valeria agreed without arguing. "I'll do as you say. Because I know my husband only wants what's best for me!" "That's right!" William smiled as he held her in his arms. Valeria then remembered her missed call to William earlier. She asked him curiously, "Why can't I reach you earlier? Did you see my text?" "I switched my phone off for an important meeting this afternoon. And yes, I saw your text after the meeting. But it was already past lunchtime, so I didn't reply." "Thank goodness you were
After Devon confirmed from Raelyn that William was indeed the president of the Wolf Group, he immediately called Lucian to inform her about William's identity. Then, he ordered Lucian to transfer Natalie out of the Juxemburg Hospital as soon as possible. Upon hearing the news, Lucian did not dare delay and executed his order right away. Soon, the nanny who had been taking care of Natalie had started to pack her belongings, and when Natalie noticed that something was wrong, she asked to go to the bathroom and had secretly sent a message to William. William replied almost immediately after she sent the message, asking Natalie to stall for time and to leave the rest to him. As William had told her, she left the ward under the escort of her nanny and bodyguards after stalling for half an hour. Surrounded by them, she went straight to the parking lot, where a car was there waiting for their arrival. Soon, the car left the parking lot without being stopped, and
Soon, when Raymond and Gavin arrived at the ward, Valeria and Natalie had stopped crying and had wiped away their tears. Gavin, however, was a little embarrassed when he saw that Natalie was still alive. Despite being embarrassed, he apologized to Natalie for what he had done. "It was all my fault back then. Please forgive me for doing those stupid things! I'm so glad that you all have finally reunited as a family. From now on, I will never harm you again, and you could be together with Archer happily." As Gavin apologized, Natalie stared blankly at him and did not answer. On the other hand, Raymond was a little shocked as he tentatively called, "Mom!" The situation was completely different from the last time when he saw Natalie in the hospital. This time, Natalie had no reaction when Raymond called her, and Gavin was stunned by this. "What's going on? What's wrong with her?" "She doesn't remember us now!" Archer replied as he smiled bitterly. "How..
Valeria was a little worried after hearing William's reply. "Hubby, Savannah and Raelyn are so ruthless. Do you think that they would hurt my mother?" "No, your mother is not a weakling. In fact, she's a strong and independent woman! Don't worry, your mother would be safe even without your father's protection." "But Lucian is a pain in the a*s! Savannah and Raelyn are easy to deal with because they have obvious targets, unlike Lucian, we don't even know what her intention is. If it wasn't for Raymond, that b*stard, I wouldn't be worried at all. I'm just afraid that he'll mess things up!" "You're right. The way Lucian treated your mother was not that bad, to be honest. Besides having drugged your mother to make her suffer from amnesia, she was always on her toes to serve your mother well. So what's her purpose for doing this?" William couldn't figure it out as well. Valeria guessed, "Is she teaming up with Devon to make a move on the Saunders family's inheritance
"You?" Ronald sneered. "You can't even protect yourself. What more can you come up with to fight against them?" "Who says that I can't protect myself? I'm the eldest daughter of the Howard family. If the Saunders family is being a bully, my father, as well as my brother, won't just sit there and do nothing about it." "So why don't you go and let them know, then? I am useless and have no power to do anything. You should ask for their help instead!" Savannah knew that Ronald was indeed unable to help her out. She had wanted to team up with Ronald as she wanted to turn the tables against Natalie and Archer. However, it wasn't the time to discuss this matter with Ronald right now, as Savannah had to head back to check on Hayden and Charles. Meanwhile, after heading to the Wolf Group to meet William, Hayden had gone to visit his wife's grave. He sat there and was lost in his thoughts for a long time. He didn't leave the cemetery until night under the persuasion
Soon, William's car arrived in front of the mansion and he took the lead inside while Bobby trailed closely behind him. Inside, Hayden was furious about the news and was sitting on the sofa in the living room with a sullen expression on his face. Lucas and the servants were standing beside the sofa and they were trembling slightly in fear. Hayden turned towards the door with a dark expression when a servant came to tell him about William's arrival. He was so furious that he threw the ashtray that was on the coffee table towards William as soon as he entered. Hayden had gone mad indeed, but he was not stupid as he instantly knew who was behind that forced divorce between Savannah and Archer. It was definitely not Archer! Although Archer was opportunistic and smart when it comes to business, he would never plot against others like this. This must have been William's plan all along! He framed Savannah so that he could marry Valeria in the future without anyth
On the day of Azalea's recovery, she was escorted out of the hospital by two police officers to wait for her sentence. She was wearing shackles and handcuffs as she walked through the parking lot. She saw Michael with Abbie, who was holding Emma in her arms. Michael was holding Abbie's waist, ready to get into their car. Seeing that Michael had recovered, Azalea was extremely perplexed. She had learned from the police that Leonard's man had tried to kill her to silence her and knew that Leonard was using her, so she did not regret her vicious behavior. Azalea stared at the child in Abbie's arms and Michael as she started to have vicious thoughts. If the one who got injured that day was Abbie, and if Abbie died, everything would be different now, wouldn't it? Michael would be living a life worse than death. His child would not have a mother anymore, and no one could have what she couldn't. She would be satisfied. However, all of this was just her imaginatio
After Leonard's matter was settled, Richard returned to the Clark family. Abbie wasn't asleep yet and was sitting alone in the living room in a daze. Richard walked to her and sat down. Then, he reached out and patted her on the shoulder. "Why aren't you asleep yet?" "I can't sleep. Richard, he... he will be fine, won't he?" "Don't think too much. He will be fine." "I don't want anything to happen to him... Richard, I actually hate him very much and have never thought of being with him again. I have suffered enough! Every time I made up my mind to cut all ties with him, something bad would happen like what happened now. Richard, what should I do?" Richard understood Abbie's dilemma. "Abbie, do you still love him?" "I don't know! I hate him! I hate him so much!" "You can't let him go, can you? You and he broke up three times, but he has always been in your heart." Richard sighed. "To be honest, I don't want you and him to start over again. After
It was late at night in Azalea's ward as she lay on the bed and fell asleep with her eyes closed. Three of Azalea's ribs were broken while one of her hands was handcuffed to the hospital bed. The policeman guarding her felt that there was no way she could escape, so he relaxed his guard. The man who was arranged by Leonard's assistant had been waiting for the right moment in the hospital. Then, they immediately entered the ward and attacked Azalea when they saw that the policeman had left. Just as they covered Azalea's mouth and were about to suffocate her to death, a soft voice could be heard by the door of the ward. "Hey! Are you trying to silence her?" The man turned his head and saw that Bobby were taking photos with his mobile phone while Silas was bent over in laughter. Later, Leonard was woken up at 2 a.m. in the morning when Richard and his bodyguards came to visit him furiously. Leonard had already guessed the purpose of Richard's visit as soon as
It had been two days since Leonard's assistant brought Azalea back to the city and she was specially sent here today to attack Michael. Although Azalea hated Michael, she did love him immensely in the past and she didn't want to kill him. The one she hated the most was still Abbie. She had been overshadowed by Abbie since she was a child and she had never won against her before. It was all thanks to Abbie now that she ended up like this. Michael wouldn't deal with her if it weren't for Abbie, and she wouldn't have been driven to a dead end like this. She was going to die in the end anyway, so she wanted nothing more than to drag Abbie down with her. She knew that she couldn't get close to Abbie. Besides, she also knew very well that Leonard wanted to use her to kill Michael so that he could marry Abbie. Azalea acted as if she had been persuaded by Leonard's assistant to attack Michael, but in fact, her target was Abbie all along. She saw how desperat
Azalea looked up when she heard the voice and met Leonard's assistant's gaze in the car. She stopped crying once he got out of the car. "Miss Clark, I've been looking for you everywhere!" Azalea lowered her head frantically when she saw him, but he said warmly, "Miss Clark, get in the car." She didn't know if Leonard's assistant knew about the murder she'd committed, so she hesitated for a moment before getting into the car. He then gave her a bottle of water and some food. Azalea was famished because she hadn't eaten anything for a few days, so she wolfed down her food desperately. Leonard's assistant had been observing Azalea all this time, and he said once she finished eating, "I know what you've done! The police are now looking for you everywhere." Azalea's expression was filled with panic. "Are you going to hand me over to the police?" "No, I'm here to help you." "How can you do that?" Azalea asked in frustration. "I won't be a
It started to rain again early in the morning, which made the air in the mountains damp and cold. Meanwhile, Azalea lay motionlessly on the messy bed. She could hear the child's wailing from outside while Monthel's mother tried to coax the child. However, there was no sign of it ending even after some time. Monthel's mother started to become angry as well, so she scolded the child and eventually began to target Azalea again. "Why are you still lying in bed at this time? I've never seen someone as lazy as you. A wife should get up early in the morning to cook, but you are the only one who will laze around like this!" This was not the first time that Azalea had been scolded. Monthel's mother had begun to pick on her the second day after she arrived. Azalea would fight back initially, but she no longer dared to talk back after she was slapped in the face by Monthel. Monthel's mother cursed outside for a while. Then, she lifted the curtain and came into the ro
Leonard's expression turned very ugly, but Richard did not give him a chance to even catch his breath. "After I learnt of your relationship with her, I sent someone to extract the DNA of the fetus in Evelyn's belly and compare it with yours. The results show that she's indeed pregnant with your child, but you can verify it personally if you don't believe me." Since Richard dared to say this, there was no possibility for Leonard to turn the tables. The veins on Leonard's forehead bulged as he was filled with humiliation. He initially wanted to get back at Fandrey by asking him to propose the marriage to the Clark family, but she ended up being embarrased like this. He was furious, but Richard continued, "We are very grateful to you for saving Abbie's life. Although she can't marry you, we can continue to be friends if you want to." What could Leonard say? He had done a terrible mistake, so he couldn't possibly tell Richard that he wanted to cut all ties between t
Abbie tried her best to escape, but it was useless. Michael even kissed her on the face a few times, which made her so angry that her voice trembled. "Michael... F*ck you... I'm going to kill you!" Michael turned a deaf ear to her words because he hadn't been so close to Abbie for such a long time. He missed her like crazy, so how could he bring himself to let her go? Abbie kept struggling desperately, but her physical strength was no match for Michael's. Michael then carried her back to the sofa, which made her furious because she couldn't escape. "Michael, what are you trying to do?" Michael did not answer her at all. Instead, he just hugged her so tightly as if he didn't want to let her go at all. He hugged her for such a long time that her whole body had gone numb. "Michael, what's wrong with you? Let go of me! I can't move!" It was only then did Michael let go of Abbie. Her limbs had already gone numb and she felt extremely uncomfortable. Just t
Michael happily placed the coffee he ordered for Abbie in front of her. "Here, I've ordered your favourite coffee." However, Abbie sneered and picked up the coffee to splash it all over him. The coffee was very hot, but Michael just smiled bitterly and said, "Do you hate me so much?" "What do you think?" Abbie looked at Michael coldly without any affection in her eyes. "My feelings for you have never changed! What happened between me and Azalea is all fake, and I've never had anything to do with her. The news with Anastasia was also fake. I was the one who used her to provoke Azalea, but Leonard made up those news articles to get back at me. I swear, I haven't been with anyone else apart from you!" Abbie let out a cold laugh, "Really?" "I'm serious! I swear that I'm not lying to you!" "There's no need to swear, or else even you'll beleive your own lies." Michael became desperate when it was obvious that Abbie didn't believe him. "What do I have
